JOB OBJECTIVES
Seek a challenging position in field of Mechanical Engineering (Project, Design, R&D, and Sustaining) where I can fully utilize my skills and experience.
SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Expertise in moving initial concepts to commercial products using computer aided design and FEA analysis including; materials selection and qualification; prototype, test and evaluation; metal, plastics and sheet metal manufacturing processes; electronic components packaging, assembly and detail drawings and cost and materials estimates. Experienced with production capacity calculations, yield and failure analysis, quality assurance, project management, pre-sales technical support, and post-sales customer support, sustaining engineering tasks, cost reduction and production support.
Major Accomplishments:
• Resolved major malfunction issue with base station antennas RET, which had performance problems under low temperatures by creating a road map to revise design, upgrade RET housing material and functional components.
Result: product functionality correction and customers’ satisfaction.
• Resolved base station antennas major bowing/warping issues which caused significant mechanical stresses and RF malfunction by creating a road map to analyze nature of failures, structural components design, materials and assembly technique, detecting cause of the problem (related to CTE components differences) revising design, reinforcing structural elements.
Result: functionality correction.
• Identified base station antennas cost reduction solution by teaming with procurement and manufacturing engineering groups and creating a road map for operational site locations to maximize use of the local materials and to detect major component cost contributors. Analyzed materials, finishes and manufacturing processes, revised and tested (if required) all of above.
Result: significant profit increase.
• Resolved major supporting structures’ and fasteners’ corrosion issues, which caused products recalls, by creating a road map to detect cause of the problem, effected components’ materials and finishes. Revised, tested and introduced new design and quality plans.
Result: stable, predictable, low cost, high quality product supplied to the market.
• Resolved (with RF engineering group) major 2.4 and 5 GHz AP antenna profile and mounting issues related to the tight boundary conditions. Created design plan to minimize overall antenna profile and identified innovative approach to the mounting structure design.
Result: unique, low cost product that met customer’s expectations.
• Resolved (with SW group) general base station antennas structural issue. Analyzed issue related to the wind load, by creating a road map to review different current wind load calculation approaches. Defined the most applicable, confirmed calculations with wind tunnel tests, compared with competitor’s data.
Result: unique software that allowed mechanical engineers to define the wind load and conduct proper structural analysis, without going to the costly wind tunnel testing.
• Identified effective base station antennas mounting solution to minimize the overall outside diameter (for wind load purposes) and weight, for individual antennas mounted around the telescoping portable monopole by creating design plan, which identified the boundary conditions, design approaches to be taken, including material selection, finishes and testing.
Result: popular, low cost, high quality product that satisfied customer’ expectation.
• Based on products’ structural and functional failure analysis identified major mechanical issues, causing it, which included design, materials and finishes. Created and implemented into development process Mechanical Design Guide and Check List.
Result: reduced development cost, time and predictable high quality product that satisfied customer’ expectation.
